Cisco N2K-C2248PQF 48x 10GB SFP+ 4x 40GB QSFP+ B-F Airflow Fabric Extender

The Cisco N2K-C2248PQF Fabric Extender features 48 SFP+ ports supporting up to 10Gbps and four QSFP+ uplink interfaces providing up to 40Gbps connectivity.

It enhances scalability for data center deployments by extending the network fabric through a parent Nexus switch while offering efficient port aggregation capabilities. This device uses front-to-back airflow, making it suitable for deployment in alignment with modern cooling strategies in many server racks.

Integration relies on NX-OS software management rather than standalone operation, simplifying system-wide configuration via its associated Nexus switches.
